Data reveals the recent fall in the number of coronavirus patients in England also looks to have come to a halt, with an 8% rise in people with COVID being admitted to hospital.

Coronavirus infections across the UK are estimated to have topped a million again, with cases rising in England for the first time since mid-October, official figures show.

The total number of positive COVID-19 cases was estimated to have risen by 6% in the week to 21 November, up from 972,400 for the previous seven-day period, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said.

It is the first increase in nationwide coronavirus infections since the week ending 17 October and comes a week after cases dropped below a million for the first time since mid-September.

During the latest wave, the total peaked at just over two million in mid-October.

This is well below the spikes seen earlier in the year, when infections climbed to nearly four million in July and just under five million in March.

Current NHS advice is that people should try to stay at home and avoid contact with others if they have tested positive for COVID or have symptoms.

It also stresses the importance of avoiding people at higher risk of infection, such as those with weakened immune systems, even if they have been vaccinated.
